Mk 7:1-23

  • v3-4: traditions of the Jews--not just for sanitary purposes, it's a religious ceremony as well;
  • v6: their hearts are far from me;
  • v7: they worship me in vain (Isa 29:13);
  • v8-9: you let go of the commends of God and are holding on to the traditions of men, and have a fine way to explain it => seek the original meanings of traditions; return to God, return to God's words!
  • v15: unclean -> not goes into but comes out of a man;
  • v23: all these evils come from inside men's hearts:
    • sexual immorality
    • theft
    • murder
    • adultery
    • greed
    • malice
    • deceit
    • lewdness
    • envy
    • slander
    • arrogance
    • folly
